"Chile to Host World's Largest Astronomy Camera in Atacama Desert"

The world's largest digital camera for optical astronomy, with a resolution of 3.2 gigapixels, is set to be installed at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in northern Chile. This camera will support a decade-long exploration to study dark energy, dark matter, and potential asteroid collisions, generating 20 terabytes of data per night and creating a 15-petabyte catalog database.
